Who here is going to be watching this?

I think he'll get 5 of the 6 lottery numbers, plus maybe the bonus ball.

He could end up looking like an idiot and not get one number.

I am very, very excited for this.

I love Mr Brown and everything he has done.

If you are not a fan, or not watching this, PLEASE plan on it. DO IT. You will not regret it.

Oh my God Tommy, Derren can see into the future, bastard.

There's a 'how I did it' on Friday.

Call me a cynic, but this is a public fiening for viewers - plus the very consequential advertising revenues - and it's also very sticky with legality.

For me, it will only be one of the two following outcomes:

- He gets it wrong, and looks like a complete idiot, or
- The whole thing is rigged with weighted balls.

I like to believe in "all possibilities", but this is pantomime.

Okay, I'll call you a cynic.

With his previous stuff you can doubt if it's true, but this time around on live television, between two organisations, the BBC & Channel 4.  All this means is that Camelot would have had to give him the numbers and that every lottery is rigged.  

Which can never happen.

That's the thing, it's all about publicity for a Channel 4 looking financially unstable and forced to revamp its image - I mean, the whole funding issue recently reported is no coincidence. The consequences of an underperforming BB are coming home to roost, and when you factor in that The National Lottery is also down on takings, it makes sense for this to happen.

Haha, yeah, cynical is becoming my middle name.

My background is marketing, so this just feels like an elaborate - but no doubt entertaining - fiening for viewers. The small print of this show would be interesting to see.

Here's a link to wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derren_Brown


Quoted from Text
Derren Victor Brown (born 27 February 1971) is an English magician, illusionist, mentalist, painter and sceptic.


He predicted the national lottery numbers live on tv.  He turned on the BBC channel whilst he was in an empty studio by Channel 4, and got all six numbers.  I flicked back and forth between the channels and it was as live as you can get.

Just found the clip from last night:
